About the Higher Education Institution Register

Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST) is required under the Higher Education (General Provisions) Act 2014 (HEGPA) to establish and maintain a register of all registered higher education institutions in Papua New Guinea (PNG). This interactive Higher Education Institution Register is the official record of all registered higher education institutions in PNG.

The interactive Register is currently in the process of being compiled and once fully developed will list the following for each institution:

Name of the institution and address

Programmes, courses/units accredited or approved that are delivered by the institution

The Register sets out to provide the government, students, parents, institutions and the wider public with current and accurate information regarding all higher education institutions that are registered in PNG.
